Bright Feeds, Connecticut’s New Food Waste Recycler, Opens Plant in Berlin

Bright Feeds, Connecticut’s New Food Waste Recycler, Opens Plant in BerlinLicensed for 450 tons of food waste per day, Bright Feeds’ inaugural plant converts unwanted food into animal feed—reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving companies and municipalities money.

BERLIN, Conn. – November 3, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Bright Feeds, a New England-based green startup, opened its first food waste processing plant in Berlin, Connecticut, last week. Licensed to process 450 tons of food waste per day for the next 10 years, the plant is positioned to fill a waste processing gap left by the July 2022 closure of the MIRA plant in nearby Hartford.

“With Bright Feeds here, we have a bright future in Connecticut,” says Katie Dykes, Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). “I’m excited about what this could mean, not just for Berlin, but for helping Connecticut solve this waste disposal crisis in a really exciting way.”

Bright Feeds’ 25,000-square-foot plant uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence and drying technology to convert unwanted food into an all-natural, nutritious soy and corn substitute for animal feed. Bright Feeds developed its proprietary drying technology with engineers at Boston College and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It uses best-in-class technology sourced from around the globe, and manufactured and assembled in the U.S. 

At capacity, the environmental impact of the Berlin plant is equivalent to removing 22,000 cars from the road every year. The carbon-negative process uses less energy and is more scalable than other food waste recycling solutions. 

“Not only are we solving the food waste problem, but we’re doing it in a way that’s more efficient than anything else commercially available,” says Bright Feeds President and COO Tim Rassias.

Food waste is a key contributor to climate change:

  • Globally, if food waste were a country, it would be the third greatest greenhouse gas emitter after China and the U.S. (World Resources Institute).
  • In the U.S., about 40% of food is never eaten—and nearly 70% of that waste typically ends up in landfills or greenhouse gas-emitting incinerators (USDAEPA).
  • New England produced over 2 million tons of food waste in 2019, with 520,000 tons produced in Connecticut, where food makes up about 22% of disposed waste (Connecticut waste study).

“41% of what we burn and bury every year is actually valuable material: It’s food scraps, it’s yard waste, it’s all kinds of organics that are incredibly valuable and can be repurposed,” says Dykes. “The Bright Feeds model is, for the first time, at scale, turning food waste into a food source for animals, which is one of the best uses for organic material under Connecticut’s waste hierarchy.” 

According to the EPA, feeding animals is the top solution for reducing food waste after feeding hungry people.

“Yes, we can turn it into compost. Yes, we can turn it into energy. Those are all good—but the best thing is to take this stuff and preserve it as food and use it,” says Bright Feeds Board Chairman and investor Scott Kalb. “That’s what we’re doing.”

Thanks to its pioneering technology, Bright Feeds can accept a wider variety of food waste than its competitors: not just dry, grain-based waste, but also vegetables, fruit, and other wet waste. 

“We’re a one-stop shop for food waste,” says CEO Jonathan Fife. “We built our whole process around taking a variety of inputs and producing a consistent, high-quality feed.”

Using a variety of food waste enables Bright Feeds to consistently produce a highly nutritious product. Bright Feeds then sells the meal to animal feed manufacturers who use it as an ingredient in their feed.

Bright Feeds keeps food out of the waste stream—and saves money for food producers, waste management companies, and municipalities.

New England’s ongoing waste crisis calls for creative solutions. With shrinking landfill space, higher gas prices, and multiplying tipping fees, businesses and municipalities face increasing challenges on what to do with their trash. 

Bright Feeds enables the responsible disposal of unwanted food for a fraction of typical tipping fees.

The Berlin plant is located between I-91 and I-84, near USA Waste’s new recycling center and with easy access to New York City and Massachusetts. Bright Feeds also has a collection point in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and others in the works. The company plans to scale up with additional plants first in New England and then throughout the country.

Imagene Named ‘Oncology Innovation of the Year’ at 2022 BioTech Breakthrough Awards

Imagene Named ‘Oncology Innovation of the Year’ at 2022 BioTech Breakthrough AwardsAnnual Awards Program Recognizes Innovation in the Global Life Sciences and Biotechnology Industry

TEL AVIV, Israel – November 3, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Imagene, an emerging leader in the field of AI-based precision oncology, today announced it has been selected as “Oncology Innovation of the Year” in the second annual BioTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by BioTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout life sciences and biotechnology companies, products and services around the globe.

The mission of the annual BioTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the top companies, solutions and products in the life sciences and biotechnology industry today. This year’s program attracted more than 1,350 nominations from over 12 different countries throughout the world. Imagene’s AI-based Biomarker Detection was chosen as a breakthrough innovation in the field of Medical Technology.

Imagene is a pioneer startup in the Digital Genomics space. Using computer vision algorithms, the company can detect in real-time cancerous genomic alterations directly from the biopsy slide (H&E) scanned image. The idea behind Imagene’s innovative development aligns with the notion that actionable (driver) genomic alterations will have a morphological effect on the tissue in a resolution that is impossible for the human eye to detect, but AI and deep learning models can. 

“We are honored to be recognized among these great Life Science and BioTech innovators as we continue to advance precision oncology in the fight against cancer,” said Dean Bitan, co-founder and CEO at Imagene. “The cancer diagnosis process has evolved to include crucial genomic information; however, long turnaround time, tissue, and cost make its availability limited. Identifying gene alterations is key for improving patient care and guiding targeted therapeutic decisions; physicians should be able to make optimal treatment decisions in a timely and accurate manner. The availability of rapid molecular analysis can sometimes be the difference between life and death.”

“Based on the NCCN guidelines, the identification of patient-specific actionable genomic alterations serves as the basis foundation of precision oncology and is utilized routinely for optimal and personalized treatment decisions that drive higher response and mortality rates. The need to use biological specimens and the extended time needed for the analysis and interpretation, as well as inadequate tissue biopsies result in patients not getting life-saving treatment quickly enough,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of BioTech Breakthrough Awards. “Imagene’s innovative solution opens the path to fast and accurate cancer diagnosis, demonstrating the huge advancement that AI-based genomic testing can offer to cancer patients’ care. All our deep congratulations on winning ‘Oncology Innovation of the Year!'” 

Imagene has developed 28 different models for actionable alterations across eight cancer types, including Lung, Colorectal, Bladder, Breast, Ovary, Hematology, Thyroid, and brain cancer. The detection accuracy level aligns with the current gold-standard methodologies showing an average sensitivity that is superior to the standard of care. Imagene real-time image-based biomarker detection takes about two minutes, it reduces cost and time significantly with high scalability and seamless integration with routine workflows.

Author Yavis Henry’s New Book ‘Finding My Way: My Ugly Truth’ is a Stunning Memoir That Details the Many Trials and Obstacles Faced by the Author on Her Life’s Journey

Author Yavis Henry’s New Book ‘Finding My Way: My Ugly Truth’ is a Stunning Memoir That Details the Many Trials and Obstacles Faced by the Author on Her Life’s JourneyRecent release “Finding My Way: My Ugly Truth” from Newman Springs Publishing author Yavis Henry is a stirring and emotional autobiography that recounts the author’s many hardships faced throughout her life. Despite her losses and heartache, Henry shares her story with others who may be facing similar circumstances and invites others to find peace through God as she has.

COLLINSVILLE, Ill. – November 3, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Yavis Henry has completed her new book “Finding My Way: My Ugly Truth”: a gripping and captivating true story that details the author’s hardships faced while growing up, the ways in which they impacted her views about herself and life, and how, through a firm faith and connection with God, she was able to find healing.

“This book is my testimony; it was written to honor all the people who had helped me through all my life struggles,” writes Henry. “I have been blessed beyond measure. I didn’t realize how far I had come in life until I started writing and documenting things that were of the most importance to me. My story is not really a typical story; however, I do strongly believe that a lot of people can relate to it. Most people can probably say that they have that first love that broke their heart in pieces, that true best friend who’s going to rock with on every level. Everyone has made mistakes and has made bad decisions and has been in situations that have caused them to do things that they are not particularly proud of.

“Life doesn’t come with a list of instructions or a guide to help you along the way. You just have to roll with the punches, dust yourself off, and keep trying until you get it right. I have had so many people come and go in my life, and I can honestly say that I have learned so many lessons on the way through all that laughter and tears from that heartache and pain. So now I can truly say that I am proud to celebrate the good and the bad.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Yavis Henry’s engaging tale is a poignant journey of overcoming one’s traumatic past with the help of those around them and a creative outlet, all while keeping faith that God will deliver peace and healing to those who follow him.
